Abstract

In Southern Philippines, the Islamic self-identity came into being among the Moros during their anti-colonialist struggle, and became the main momentum of the rebellion of southern Muslims after the Second World War. But MNLF、MILF and Abu Sayyaf did not take advantage of this identity. The ideology of rebellion leaders deviated from that of rank-and-file insurgents. There were some other reasons for the latter to plunge into the secessionist movements.
